Arsonsisi Launches New Coatings for UV LED Lamps: An Innovative Technology and a Sustainable Choice for Industrial Coating The industrial coating market is constantly searching for innovative solutions to meet the needs of high productivity and a reduction in process and management costs, with a special focus on environmental sustainability. For this purpose, at its R&D laboratories in Berlingo, Arsonsisi has recently developed a new line of coatings for UV LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lamp curing.
Coatings for UV LED lamps are 100% dry
lamps, which emit a spectrum with different
residue, i.e. they do not contain volatile
wavelengths.
